Wondering if anyone else is facing this issue? I got notified of an available update to Tivimate, so I installed it. Upon reboot I got a legal disclaimer agreement that I’ve never seen before. When I accepted it, everything was blank. All my playlists are gone.
Update: It appears to have been a bad beta version update. I had to completely uninstall it, install the last stable release, then restore my settings. All is fine now.
I have been on Tivimate all day and I never got a notification. For an update , Thank you for the information. You just saved a lot of people from losing their playlists. Sorry, this happened to you.
@Jayhawks659 Were you part of the Tivimate beta program?
Have backups always 
Thanks for the reminder. I have not did a backup in quite a while.
If you do major changes in Tivimate yes new backup required 
@Miki been using Tivimate for years never did a backup. Reading this thread I want to. I went to “backup data” and none of the options had any folders nor could I find a way to make a new folder. Is there somewhere else in Tivimate to do this?
I’m using an ONN 4K Pro. Do I need to somehow create a folder on the ONN. I don’t do external storage at all
EDIT: - I found a video showing me to choose the “Download” folder then just hit save and all good. Thanks
Yes, signed up at some point somehow. Never had an issue before.
No need for USB. It created a local backup inside Tivimate.
But if for any reason you need to wipe the device, you will be wiping the backup. You should somehow get the backup on an external drive.
New to this so advice please.
TiviMate backup can be done to USB? How please?
Can that USB then be used to restore what’s been backed up on to 3 other TiviMate’s on other devices.
Maybe there is a method to synchronize all 4 TiviMates? Please advise, Thx J.
I save to the download folder on the internal storage. I use X-plore to copy it to the USB drive. Or I use the send files to TV app to copy it to my phone and then put it on other devices. You just have to make sure each device has the same version of Tivimate installed before restoring. Which is another reason to always do a new backup after an update.
I got the notice but it didn’t wipe out my playlist
Backup? We don’t need no stinking backup!
In the General settings. Im on a 2019 Shield. It has some redundant Android file folders. You must chose a folder from your device to save the backup file. I put my backups in the Ringtones folder.
That’s how I do it. When I have TiViMate working perfectly with all my favorite settings, I back it up on a USB drive. I then use that backup to setup TiViMate on other streaming devices using the “restore” option. That saves a lot of time without having to do the same repetitive set up all over again.
Thanks:
I’ll try that route down to about 130 channels well sorted.
Yeah, I thought that was implied lol. You definitely want to setup favorites. Push and hold the select button when you’re in the guide to select favorites in batch mode so you don’t have to do it one at a time.
Here’s the link to a video I made that goes over how to do some basic functions in Tivimate. You can skip the beginning but I do go over how to backup and restore.

So I updated today from the ToolBox and got that legal disclaimer, lucky no info lost. Now to tackle my first backup ever…
